The Psalms: An Artist's Impression

Description of Eugene H. Peterson, author of The Psalms:

This book combines the talents of two artists, from different continents and cultural contexts, who express their personal encounters with the words of The Psalms. Using vibrant acrylics on Plexiglas, Dutch artist Anneke Kaai applies paintbrush and collage techniques to give "body" to her experience of The Psalms; the verse that inspired her paintings appear alongside, taken from The Message by Eugene Peterson. Peterson's translation is a moving expression of the cutting reality of the ancient Hebrew poetry.
